The Court finds that, for the reasons stated in the parties’ 26 stipulated request, sealing the unredacted motions as well as Exhibits A, B, C, and D serves a 27 compelling interest. The Court further finds that, in the absence of closure, the compelling interests 28 identified by the parties would be harmed. In light of the public filing of the parties’ Stipulation to 1 |} Lodge Under Seal (Doc. 86), the Court further finds that there are no additional alternatives to sealing 2 || the unredacted motions, as well as Exhibits A, B, C, and D that would adequately protect the compelling 3 || interests identified by the parties. 4 ACCORDINGLY, the parties’ stipulated request to file these documents under seal is 5 || GRANTED. No later than December 2, 2022, the Plaintiffs SHALL submit the parties’ Request to Seal 6 || and the documents to be sealed by email to ApprovedSealed @caed.uscourts. gov. 7 IS SO ORDERED.
